The bike is attractive and not so difficult to assemble, though lots of parts. Well packaged. The seat is very uncomfortable. After trying multiple adjustments, it's still painful to bike for any period of time. I previously owned a Schwinn Airdyne 2x and greatly prefer the solid construction of the Schwinn. Also, the Schwinn lets you adjust the tension so you can work up to a harder ride. If that is available on this bike, I have not found it. I purchased this bike for the ability to adjust the seat, hoping to find a comfortable setting for a finicky rear end. After a few days of trying, I am still in that search. And looking for some seat cover to soften the experience. Buying exercise equipment online is hit and miss. For the price point, right around $500, this is probably a fair purchase.
